PowerRename

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a file with a full file path longer than 259 characters (mine was W:\URUHA RUSHIA CH - ARCHIVE\Rushia Ch. 潤羽るしあ\20220202 - 【Getting Over It with】ごめんあさい！壺おじ！！クリアしたいの！！応援してくだちい；；（未クリア）【潤羽るしあ_ホロライブ】\Rushia Ch. 潤羽るしあ - 20220202 - 【Getting Over It with】ごめんあさい！壺おじ！！クリアしたいの！！応援してくだちい；；（未クリア）【潤羽るしあ_ホロライブ】 [beHrlSK5kr0] f251.info.json (was multiple files, extensions were description,info.json)) on an external NTFS drive

2. Use PowerRename to change the filename while keeping it above 259 characters (mine was
   )

3. No error message or warning is thrown, PowerRename just silently fails to rename the file

✔️ Expected Behavior

PowerRename to either rename the file (Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled is 1) or to fail to rename it, throwing me a warning.

❌ Actual Behavior

PowerRename silently fails to rename the file
(on a side note, the windows Explorer also doesn't let me add any characters after the path exceeds 259 characters, only letting me remove them until it goes back down)

Other Software

Addition: Choosing a list of files where even one has a path longer than 259 results in none of the files showing up in PowerRename

One file, path < 260:

One file, path > 260:

Multiple files, one with a path > 260:

This can be worked around by opening PowerRename on the parent folder, like I did in the original post/

Good point. Similar to #8748.
Also (loosely) related #1853 and #17766
